6) National Museum legislation and structure:

The Law on Culture belongs to the existing cultural legislation. This Law on Culture became operational from March 2010, although it depends on a number of sub-laws and ministry rulebooks that will have to go through the government or the Serbian Parliament. Because of the complicated administrative procedures, it will evidently take much longer to have the Law on Culture fully operational.The draft version of The Law on Museum Heritage has been in public debate from 2008. Its final version is in preparation.
